Mediterranean Snacks Giveaway Winner

Thank you so much to everyone who entered my Baked Lentil Chips giveaway sponsored by The Mediterranean Snack Food Company!

The winner is lucky number 1 via random.org.  That means SassyAgapi is the winner!  Congrats!  I'll be e-mailing you shortly.


In other news, I am sooo excited for Spring!  I've even started to ride my bike to class and work again as long as it's not raining/snowing and above 30 degrees (ideally 40 or more).  Riding the bus is nice and all, but biking is so much quicker.  I've also decided to experiment with biking after dark.  I very rarely did that last semester because I perceive it as dangerous.  I know a few other bikers who do it all the time though, so I decided to give it a try.  I've got blinking bike lights for the front and back of my bike as well as peddle reflectors.  So far it's worked quite well, and I just may be a convert.  I stick to main roads that are well lit and haven't had much trouble.  I think I'll look into a few more reflectors for my tires, etc. though just to be safe :-).

Have any of you or do any of you bike as a means of commuting?  I feel so empowered when I do :-).

Mediterranean Snacks Review and Giveaway!

The Mediterranean Snack Food Company recently sent me 3 bags of their Baked Lentil Chips to review.  I was thrilled to have a chance to try these unique chips and spread the word about a great company.  Here's some background on The Mediterranean Snack Food Company:

They are "a privately held company created in 2005 to promote unique, innovative, healthy and natural snack products that we are proud to serve our family and friends in the old world tradition.

We use a European snack process which allows us to develop innovative shapes and use ingredients like potato, corn, wheat, rice, oat, multi-grain,lentil and soy to make low fat, flash fried or baked snack products. We use only the highest quality, all natural ingredients with no preservatives, trans fats or cholesterol . We do not use any artificial or genetically modified ingredients in our products. All our products are 100% OU kosher certified."

Here are the three flavors of Baked Lentil Chips I was sent:



Cucumber Dill: 9 of 10.  These chips were very light and crisp with a great crunch.  It was hard to believe they were made from lentils!  I loved the dill taste, and I could pick up a hint of cucumber.  The chips were certainly salty, but a tasty salty if that makes sense.

Sea Salt: 8.5 of 10.  Again, the chips were crispy and crunchy.  They were the perfect level of saltiness - a little less so than the Cucumber Dill chips.  These were rather plain though (unlike the other 2 flavored varieties) and were best with salsa.

Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper: 10 of 10!  These were my favorite.  They were very flavorful and had a nice kick.  They were even kind of hot.

The Mediterranean Snack Food Company is kind enough to allow me to host a giveaway on their behalf.  One winner will receive two bags of each of the three flavors - Sea Salt, Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper, and Cucumber Dill!

This giveaway is open to U.S. residents and will end on March 2, 2011. The winner will be picked via random.org. and will have 48 hours to respond to the winning e-mail to claim their prize or another winner will be drawn. Make sure you leave a valid e-mail address in your posts!
